Buenos Aires,  oh where do I begin other than I can’t wait to go back.

Iguassu Falls

It all started in Iguassu Falls, a little town that is home to some of the most amazing waterfalls ever. We spent two days checking out the falls and all the different trails. It was amazing. You can actually take a boat directly under the falls. Not to miss. You can view them from the Brazil side or the Argentina side.

Buenos Aires

After the falls we headed back to Buenos Aires. It is a big vibrant city and has a certain European feeling to it.

There are lots of squares full of people, bustling streets, little cafes, restaurants, and some of the best meat ever. This city is full of local restaurants with endless servings of the most perfectly grilled meats you can ever imagine.

We stayed in the center of town, close to San Telmo at the Millhouse Hostel. It was clean, fun, the staff was super helpful too. They set us up with tickets to a football game to see the Boca Juniors, one of Argentina’s biggest and best football teams.

La Boca is a popular neighborhood full of brightly painted buildings, art, and music. The Plaza de la Republica is in the center of one of the major thoroughfares in Buenos Aires and hosts the Obelisco. A few other must sees while we were there included the Colon Theatre, which is deemed one of the best in the world and have gorgeous architecture.

Recoleta

My favorite area was Recoleta. It’s a trendy area and right in the middle lies the Recoleta cemetery where Eva Peron (aka Evita) is buried. The cemetery is ornate, beautiful, eerie and breathtaking all together.

Right outside of the high walls of the cemetery is an outside market with endless local artisan crafts…be sure to bargain. You can find some great deals.

There are so many things to see and do. I only wish I had more time to head down towards Patagonia…just makes me that much more excited to go back and do it all over again, except this time for longer….
